Campaign launch.ed to increase export of Ontario goods
BY JACK RI,DDELL,
MPP
The Minister of Industry
and Trade, Gord Walker, an-
nounced the launching of a
major campaign to increase
the export of Ontario
manufactured goods to
world markets.
The campaign has two
aspects. The first involves
seminars in 30 communities
throughout the province to
demonstrate how small and
medium sized manufac-
turers can increase their
sales and profits by expor-
ting. Each seminar involves
trade experts and business
consultants discussing such
matters as developing an ex-
port marketing plan, financ-
ing, market research and
analysis, federal and provin-
cial assistance programs.
In addition to the
seminars, a second aspect of
,the trade push, involves .ex-
port forums in five,., key
regional centres. More than
800 hand-picked firms will
participate in these exports
forums scheduled to take
place in London, Windsor,
Kingston, Hamilton and
North Bay.
Senior representatives
from the foreign offices of
the Ministryof Industry
Trade have been called
home to provide manufac-
turers with current data on
sales leads in their
marketing areas. In this
respect, the foreign
representatives and the
directors of the Ministry's 18
regional offices throughout
the province will provide On-
tario industries with an ex-
traordinary network of infor-
mation and advice.
Manufacturers attending
the forums will be able to sit
down with the Ministry ex-
perts on "one to one" con-
sultations onsuch matters as
product distribution, joint
ventures, licensing ar-
rangements and overseas in-
vestment opportunities.
The Minister said in the
House that it is their goal to
double exports to 860 billion
by 1987.
Food sales tax to stay
Provincial Treasurer
Frank Miller has ruled out
any changes until next
year's budget, although new
figures show his seven per
cent sales tax is hurting On-
tario restaurants. Statistics
Show that take out sales fell
17 per cent in July to $58
million, from $70 million a
year ago.
Housing grant deadline -
won't be extended
Ontario has no intention of
matching a federal plan to
extend home ownership
grants to homebuyers who
purchase new homes before
April 30. The provincial
stipulation is that people
must agree to tuy by the end
of the year, and Treasurer
Frank Miller has been
critical of the federal finance
Minister's intention to ex-
tend the deadline because
there aren't, in any event,
many housing starts
between January and April
in this province, which
means builders would have
to sell existing homes to
benefit from the scheme. •
Hydro employees
In., res i t nse to a written
question by Bob Nixon, it
transpires that more than
1,500 Ontario Hydro
employees will each earn
$50,000 or more this year.
Nixon also asked what
Hydro pays its chairman but
the answer tabled in the
Legislature merely said that
his salary is in the rangeofa
Deputy Minister - $61,000 to
$77,375. Incidentally, it has
recently been announced
that Hydro is boosting its
bulk power rates for 1983 by
an average 8.4 per cent.
Health centres
According to the Minister
of Health, Larry Grossman,
more Ontario doctors will be
encouraged to set aside their
fee-for-service business and
join a community health cen-
tre. While medicare has
removed. financial barriers
to medical service, it ap-
pears that the poor are not
making full use of -the health
care system. There are at
present 10 community health
care centres and 17 health
service organizations in the
province and the Ministry of
Health has given the health
care : centre association a
$150,01)0 grant to develop
more centres and has pro-
mised that there will be per-
manent financing.
Limousines
During the debate on the
estimates of the Manage-
ment Board Chairman
George McCague, Bob Nixon
pointed out that taxpayers
pay $1 million a year to pro-
vide the 29 ministers of the
Ontario Cabinet <with
chauffeur -driven
limousines, when many of
them have no official need
for such cars.
He stated he did not object
to the Minister of
Agriculture and Food, Den-
nis Timbrell, being provided
with a .car to visit the rural
community, but felt that
Ministers' salaries were suf-
ficient to buy cars to drive
between office and home.
